Edith Rosenbaum
Edith Rosenbaum (Russell) was supposedly booked (but later cancelled her passage) on an unknown ship that then blew up in Le Havre or Cherbourg harbour.

She also claimed to have intended to sail on the last voyage of the Lusitania. Understandably the veracity of these claims is disputed.
